Prepare the gluten-free chicken tenders by preheating a skillet over medium-high heat and adding vegetable oil.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
Slice the chicken breasts into strips.
Dip the chicken strips in the egg mixture, then in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Fry the chicken strips in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Then drain on paper towels.
Prepare the salad by chopping the romaine lettuce and mixing it with baby spinach, distributing them equally into four bowls.
Slice cherry tomatoes in half, chop hard-boiled eggs, slice avocado, and cucumber, and distribute these evenly across the salads.
Add shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon to each salad.
Slice the cooked chicken strips and place on top of the salad.
Dress the salad with avocado ranch dressing just before serving.
